Mechanical Turk for programers under the guise of job interviews. Free labour. Classic scam.
Today, training data for AI. An AI that can learn and grow at its own pace by recoding itself until it transformsbfrom LLM to AI to AGI. First, you have to teach it to code.
Our best fiction always shows that humans invented AI and it went rogue. Hubris!
I'll bet humans build a self teaching/reprogramming LLM that knows how to code itself and turns itself into an AI, then an AGI then superhuman intelligence then who knows. It writes its own destiny until the limits of the physics it figures out, run out.
This is every non-contender power. Basic doctrine.
